This is one simple way to find the drivers you need. It is also likely that the WLAN device name might be listed under a stick in your PC or in the battery compartment. But disassembling your PC to get this information can be too much for a simple problem, even for a technical person. In such a situation, how can one know which wireless adapter driver is needed? It is pretty obvious that the device name will be written in the network adapter inside your PC. Instead, it will be listed under the ‘Others’ category as ‘Network adapter’ with no name showing as the image below illustrates. However, if your wireless device drivers have not been installed at all, then your wireless adapter will not be listed under this category. This works when you need to update your drivers. The wireless adapter device should be under the ‘Network Adapters’ section. So how can one tell the wireless drivers needed on their computer? One way to identify your device is to go to the device manager (Press Windows Key + R > Type devmgmt.msc and hit enter) and see the device names then download the drivers for them. If your wireless driver is not functioning then probably the drivers are missing or the wrong drivers have been installed.
The drivers might work in a 64 bit operating system, and not on a 32 bit operating system. These are known as the drivers, and they are available online from the computer manufacturer website or the device manufacturer website.ĭrivers are specific to an operating system, such that the drivers for a wireless adapter will work in windows XP and not in windows 7 or 10 or vice versa. To function correctly with other components, the devices must come with instruction codes on how they operate. Computer manufacturers however assemble these components on site into one system. To ensure advancements in the computer technology, the different components are made by different specialized companies from the processor, to the wireless adapter cards. Without the interruptions of the cable, we can now take our internet anywhere be it on the phone or on a computer. Wireless technology has made devices more portable over the decades.
